La Poste: historic accommodation in Amberley

There aren't too many Post Offices offering accommodation in New Zealand, however this historic building is now in private ownership and had been lovingly restored to offer a memorable experience for travellers to Amberley. Many features suggestive of it's previous function have been retained whilst creating a modern and comfortable place of rest for the holiday maker.
There is space to spread out. Nooks and crannies abound for quiet reflection, reading, writing and browsing. Enjoy a game of pool or chess, or just laze away the day in the private garden under the deck umbrella.
Explore the region during the day: numerous walkways in the nearby Mt. Grey recreation area; golf down at the beach; cycle trails; steam train in the Weka Pass; and , of course, all the wine tours and tasting that the famous Waipara Valley can offer.
Special conditions:
Smoking allowed outside only.

Extras: Cleaning (included); Linen (included);

The property was beautiful, roomy, delightfully quirky, clean, well equipped and in a great location. Will definitely be our home away from home when we visit the grandchildren. Really comfortable and lots to do, a great space for family time and creating happy memories.

Fantastic place to stay for a few days of relaxation. Very spacious and well equipped. Handy to cafes and supermarket. When we saw how close the railway tracks were, we were a bit apprehensive, but there was no noise issue from the trains.

Another perfect base for a couple of days in the '03 ...
Again, this property ticked all the boxes for us. The teenager has space (and good wifi speed) and a games room with a pool table. Mum and Dad get to relax on comfy sofas/chairs and stay toasty warm, even on a chilly north Canterbury night. We'll be back again, next time we're down in the '03 ...

Autumn escape from Wellington
What a gem of a place on a sunny Autumn weekend ... with the French bakery, speciality pie shop, microbrewery (with wood-fired pizza!) and pretty-things-shop (Ruby Six) walking distance away around the corner. Just the break we needed. And The Courthouse property was perfect for lounging around reading books, sharing a drink with visiting friends, and playing petanque and games of pool. The place had everything we needed and was toasty warm. Thanks for having us to stay!

One street off the highway in Amberley and well placed with a pub two doors down and Brew Moon around the corner. Large and comfortable with lots of character. The host interaction was very smooth and efficient.

This is an amazing hitorical place to stay.The photos dont do it any justice.
We really enjoyed staying here.Would be great if there was some info history about the place.Only one thing i would say is that the small window in the main bedroom needs a curtain as very bright light at 5.30 in the morning.We would love to stay again.Was a great location and not far from our family in Rangiora.Love the way it still has all the originality.
